How will transportation be arranged?
We will not be arranging transportation for guests, but public transportation in the Netherlands is very easy and reliable. Trains and buses run frequently, and you can pay directly using your debit card. There are also Uber and taxi options available if you prefer door-to-door transport. For those driving, parking is limited near the venue, so plan accordingly.
Can I bring my own food and drink?
We will provide all food and drinks at the venue. Please do not bring your own, unless it is for **kids or babies**, in which case let us know and we’ll accommodate. 🍰🥤
Can we bring gifts?
Absolutely! There will be a place at the wedding to leave gifts. You are also welcome to send them in advance if you prefer. See our Gift Registry / Travel Fund for ideas. 🎁
